Seiya Suzuki Back In Starting Nine On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (ankle) is returning to the starting nine on Saturday afternoon as the Cubs continue a three-game set with the division-rival Cincinnati Reds. Suzuki was kept sidelined over the past two games due to a minor ankle injury but will be back in action on Saturday. Since the start of the month, the 30-year-old has been swinging a hot bat with a .316/.438/.468 slash line with two home runs and six doubles. Suzuki has enjoyed another strong campaign in his third major-league season with a solid .281/.361/.482 line, 21 long balls, and 16 stolen bases. Suzuki will likely be drafted within the top 20 at his position due to his ability to contribute to all five standard categories.

Nick Fortes Out On Saturday, Jhonny Pereda In

Miami Marlins catcher Nick Fortes will take a seat on Saturday afternoon and will cede catching duties to Jhonny Pereda. Fortes has started in each of the past two games. Since the start of the month, Fortes has carried a solid .274/.329/.419 line with six doubles and one home run. Pereda rejoined the major league roster earlier this month and has gone just 5-for-22 throughout September. Fantasy managers should expect Fortes to be behind the dish in the final game of the regular season on Sunday. Pereda should not be considered in DFS formats this afternoon as he will face Toronto right-hander Yariel Rodriguez.

Nolan Arenado Sitting On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is not in Saturday's lineup as the Cardinals continue a series against the San Francisco Giants. Arenado got a day off on Thursday and will now get his second rest day of the week. Throughout his past 11 games, the 33-year-old has carried a strong .357/.404/.405 line with two doubles and five RBI. As a result, 22-year-old Thomas Saggese will get the nod at the hot corner and bat in the seven-hole. Arenado has enjoyed another solid campaign holding a .277/.325/.394 line with 16 home runs and two stolen bases. Saggese is worth a look in DFS this afternoon as he will face San Francisco right-hander Tristian Beck who should not be expected to last long in this start as he typically only logs two innings in each outing.

Randy Vasquez Set To Start On Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Randy Vasquez was promoted from Triple-A earlier on Saturday afternoon to start on Saturday evening when the Padres face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Vasquez has spent the entire month in Triple-A and has held a rough 7.20 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Through his previous 40 1/3 innings at the big league level, the 25-year-old has posted a 5.58 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, with a 15:26 BB:K ratio. Fantasy managers and DFS players should avoid Vasquez as a streaming option this evening as he will face a tough Arizona lineup that has hit right-handed pitching quite well this season with an excellent .788 OPS.

Austin Hays Dealing With Sore Back

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Austin Hays (back) is dealing with a sore back, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Hays has started in each of the past three games but will take a seat on Saturday afternoon out of precaution. Fantasy managers need to monitor the Philadelphia starting nine on Sunday, as Hays may be given an additional day to rest before the playoffs begin next week. As a result, Weston Wilson will cover left field and bat in the eight-hole on Saturday. Since joining the Phillies at the trade deadline, Hays has held a .256/.275/.397 slash line with five doubles and two home runs. Wilson should be avoided in DFS this afternoon while facing Washington ace MacKenzie Gore.
